Operation
Front Panel
Port Selection/Link LED
The LED turns green when the connected computer is powered-on. The
corresponding LED will also illuminate red when that PC port is currently selected.
Port Selection Button
Each push button on the front panel corresponds with a PC port. Pressing the
button will immediately select that port.
K/M Reset
K/M Reset resolves the majority of problems developed by keyboard and/or
mouse device replacement or configuration changes. Press down buttons 1 and 2
simultaneously for 2 seconds to reconfigure the whole system without having to
turn off the KVM switch or any attached computers.
Auto Scan
The KVM automatically scans through the powered-on computers in sequence on a
fixed time interval (see Scan Time below).
To activate Auto Scan, press down front panel push buttons “3” and “4”
simultaneously. The port LED flashes during Auto Scan. Auto Scan is effective for
powered-on computers only. To exit the Auto Scan mode, just tap any one of the
push buttons.
NOTE: When Auto Scan detects any keyboard activity, it suspends the scanning
until the activity stops; it then resumes with the next computer in sequence. The
length of the Auto Scan interval (Scan Rate) is adjustable, see below.
